The media have an important role in shaping public opinion and journalism can also facilitate the role of diplomacy, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said during the talks in Hina.
He underlined good relations between Iran and Croatia as well as the need to improve the daily information exchange.
Apart from representatives of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Hina was also visited by representatives of Iranian media corporations - the national news agency IRNA, the student news agency ISNA, television network IRIB and a web portal bringing stories about the Iranian government.
Iranian media companies are interested in furthering direct cooperation with the Croatian media and opening a correspondents' office in Croatia.
